The air of Indore is the most toxic, the danger is hidden in every breath

Again, the level of air pollution in Indore becomes dangerous. The air quality index (AQI) was constantly above 100 from April 1. As the temperature rises, AQI is also increasing. Pollution is increasing because of the occurrence of stubble in the city’s border areas. According to the real time pollution station at Chhoti Gwalatoli, the city’s AQI level reached April 9, 236. According to the pollution control board, AQI was 158 on Monday, while it was recorded at 147 on Sunday. The amount of PM10 and nitrogen oxide has also increased significantly. Experts believe that when AQI is above 100, it becomes harmful to health, especially for the elderly, children and respiratory patients. Disclosure in IIT Indore Report- A study conducted by IIT Indore at a dangerous level of pollution in Madhya Pradesh has shown that the pollution level in Madhya Pradesh is worrying. According to the report, an average of 70 to 80 days in a year of state citizens is forced to breathe highly polluted air earlier only 15 to 25 days. Although the level of pollution in Madhya Pradesh is slightly lower than Delhi-NCR and Uttar Pradesh, the situation is still worrying. This study is prof. Of the Department of Civil Engineering of IIT Indore. Was conducted by the study by Manish Kumar Goyal and his team and was published in the magazine ‘Technology in Society’. According to the report, the average annual level of PM 2.5 is in Madhya Pradesh 40-45 micrograms per cubic meter, while it reaches 200-250 in the peak days of pollution. Director of IIT Indore, prof. Suhas Joshi, said that the pollution level in Madhya Pradesh is 8 to 9 times higher than the World Health Organization (WHO) standards. The study also found that women are more affected by pollution, mainly due to smoking caused by cooking solid fuel (such as wood and coal). Professor Manish Goyal also said that microscopic particles such as PM 2.5 are extremely dangerous because they can penetrate the lungs and bloodstream. There is no natural defense system in the body to protect itself from such particles, which can cause serious illnesses. Development work, rising heat and a lack of green cause pollution. There were many important reasons behind the increase in AQI levels in Madhya Pradesh, the main reasons are: rapid growth in cities, increase in number of vehicles, the use of AC in the summer and a lack of green. In addition, the slow air speed is also becoming a major cause of increasing pollution. According to officials, pollutants spread to the atmosphere, reducing the level of pollution. But when the wind is low, these particles freeze there and raise AQI. Experts believe that when AQI reaches above 100, it can cause eye irritation, sore throat and lung problems, which can cause breathing problems. Share this story -tags
